About this document
Acid Rain by Francisco Becerra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Acid rain is caused by sulfur and nitrogen emissions reacting in the atmosphere to form acids. When these acids fall as precipitation, they acidify soils and damage vegetation. Soil acidification reduces nutrient availability for plants. Uptake of acid compounds by leaves also disrupts nutrient balance and pH regulation within plants. Over time, acid rain changes the composition of plant communities toward more acid-tolerant species. While small amounts of additional nitrogen may benefit plants, excessive u
